Join us for an empowering and inclusive virtual gathering designed exclusively for Black, Indigenous, and racialised (BIPOC) staff working in the Canadian international cooperation sector.
This roundtable provides a unique space for BIPOC staff to connect, share experiences, and collectively address challenges within the sector. Engage in insightful discussions, gain valuable perspectives from experienced professionals, and collaboratively explore strategies to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion. Let’s build connections, foster solidarity, and pave the way for positive change within the Canadian international cooperation community. Together, we are stronger.
